You can change your poll choice at any time.

As a socialist, I gotta admit, I like Ike. He's the only Republican after Teddy who wasn't garbage.

Either Lincoln or Eisenhower.

I like Ike too, but I am an old boat and I am still loyal to Lincoln.

Understandable. Johnny Reb was and is a dastardly fellow.

Lincoln
Roosevelt
Nixon
Coolidge

The Bushes and Reagan were awful

Ol abe Lincoln

I'm torn between Lincoln and Roosevelt.

In the Poll, I said Lincoln. His record is untouchable by most Presidents. Between Civil War and WWII, its definitely Teddy, yet, after watching Grant on the History Channel, Grant deserves a second look. He was not nearly as bad as many of the others, and he had a strong Civil rights record. Hayes is also underrated. Very good on the Civil issues.
Post WWII, its definitely Eisenhower. Post Eisenhower, we have not had a republican who has not cheated in some way to get elected (other than Ford, but he was a special case). Nixon used the Vietnamese to get elected. Reagan messed with Carter, using the Iranian hostages to get elected (his former staffers even said they took direction from him. HW was clearly involved with that as well. He didn't do anything to stop it (according to those same staffers). Iran Contra was a mess too.
W. Bush cheated with his brother to win in 2000.
Trump...where to I even begin. Even the Russians now see that working with him may have been a mistake.

Obviously, Lincoln is going to win. He pretty much always does

by **West Leas Oros 2** » Mon Jun 01, 2020 4:51 pm

Also, where’s William Howard Taft on the poll?

by **Dresderstan** » Mon Jun 01, 2020 4:54 pm

Lincoln
Teddy
Ike
Grant

Reagan probably did more long-term damage to the Republican party than anyone else, and yet boomer conservatives still worship him and think if we vote for neocons, we can return to the 1980s.

Better choice than nixon, agreed

Lincoln, Teddy Roosevelt, Eisenhower.

Again, what about Taft? He’s not my favorite, and honestly, he lacked competence, but he certainly wasn’t garbage...

Obviously, Lincoln was great, but other than him, I love Teddy Roosevelt. Also, even though he isn't my favourite president, I'd gladly have a beer with George W. Bush, the guy seems likeable.

by **Minimark** » Mon Jun 01, 2020 5:01 pm

Post WWII my personal gotta be Gerald Ford. He only got more garbage thrown at him but through it all, he began to recover the economy and unite the country. Gotta respect that

That's the mentality that people used to excuse all the horrible shit he did. Don't get me wrong, Dubya was a total bro for sure, but he should have never been president and there were some very evil people in his administration.

Teddy Roosevelt is my favorite president period, so I really do have so go with him. Sorry Abe.

by **Southern Avarsarstan** » Mon Jun 01, 2020 5:03 pm

Lincoln, on account of the ties to the early Socialist movement and seeming sympathies for it.
